So what? He’s not a leader in any sense of the word. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Senile Satan is straight-up lying again. After away food and healthcare from millions - this is his go-to defense. Obama has never made any profits or royalties from the ACA, ever.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

It is the responsibility of all of us to return the nation to a path that is morally sustainable.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. Here’s what we all need to prepare for.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

I was going to write a piece for tomorrow, but after a crazy week, I really needed the day off. I will be back on Monday with my usual weekend rundown. A big thanks to the Democracy Docket subscriber community for its support. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Russia is falling to pieces. Stories like this are now commonplace.

About 300 employees of a nuclear facility in Russian Ulyanovsk region have gone on a massive strike because they are not paid any salary. "At the moment, the salary delay has reached two months. Lunches have been canceled, there has been no food provided for a long time.

Just imagine how prosperous we would be if we had set up a sovereign wealth fund that captured a proportion of the revenue. Like Norway?

UK electricity bills up 163% since 2008. Wages haven't. 6.1m households in fuel poverty, £4.43bn debt Profiteering: Energy sector average profit margin 23%, grid sector 38%, gas extraction 58%. Profit last year £30bn. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty. No govt checks profiteering.

Brilliant!

The last part of Krispy Noempathy’s speech is omitted. It was ‘Now sit Fido whilst I blow your head off!’

Kristi Noem: "If we have to do it the hard way in Portland and Chicago, we will."

‘ACTION ON PALESTINE’ ‘PALESTINE FACTION’ ‘PALESTINE REDACTION’ ‘PALESTINE INTERACTION’ All legally acceptable phrases. As is ‘Starmer is supporting a monstrous war criminal and is an accessory to his crimes’.

Oh do fuck off @teamlabouruk.bsky.social This is how ludicrous you are , recognise Palestine one week , then arrest peaceful protestors as a prescribed organisation the week after 😂 You couldn’t be messing this shit up more if you tried www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Honestly, fair 💅

Last week’s elections show how central social media has become to campaigns with politicians on nearly every platform. But as Josephine Lukito and Kaitlyn Dowling explain, we know less and less about them, because access to this data is shrinking.

Hello, Blooees! It's 37F (3C) and raining lightly in West Brattleboro VT USA om 11/9 at 4:49AM. 40% chance of rain, mainly after 4PM. Cloudy, otherwise, with a high of 52F (11C). Calm wind becoming east around 6 mph (10 kph) in the afternoon.

FUN FACT: That full refund that Delta will immediately give you, that's because of the Biden administration. They put that rule in place. Not Trump. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Reading is fundamental.

He was just mad because someone else was getting the attention due to him.

Good morning Bluesky including to all those who have drifted away from TwitterX. Lovely morning here on the Welsh border (see below). 13C high, 7C low, humidity 83%, pressure 1012.9 mb, wind 13 kph. Sunny outlook with just a 2% chance of rain.

youtube.com/shorts/WoZIt... Is Trump practising his ‘pardon a nonce or pedo’ future policy? I’m surprised he hasn’t pardoned all those featured in the Epstein files including himself.

He obviously stinks of body odour, judging by the bloke holding his nose. ‘Licknut’?

He’s lost in time and space and looks very unwell!

The Purpose of Government 👇 Current administration originally tried to run the USA as a business. ie: talked of privatization of postal service. Now they see a massive piggy bank to plunder, giving billions to family & friends.

Bring it on.

Well done 👏🏼

From coast to coast, Democrats scored huge blowout wins against Trump and the GOP this week. What does this mean for next year's midterms — and has Trump's failure to tackle affordability doomed him for good? Let's break it all down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azIm_JPnd9M

See you in DC!!!

UPDATE 11/8: Jan had stitches from 4th operation removed. Surgeon she is going to complete healing with another month of gut-whacking antibiotics. So, it's a Yay!
